Sports Injuries: Athletes benefit from aquatic therapy due to buoyancy unloading stress to joints allowing time to rest between games while still maintaining strength and conditioning. Water exercises also provide a great medium for plyometric training. Athletes can also rehab injuries much faster in the water allowing them to get back in the game sooner.

Arthritis/ Fibromyalgia/ Chronic Pain: Aquatic therapy provides a medium for graded exercise progression to allow for the person with chronic pain to start exercising in a friendlier environment without the painful effects of gravity on their joints. Hydrostatic pressure on the body also modulates nervous system sensitivity providing a pain relieving effect for chronic pain.

Spinal Decompression: Decompression for a bulging disc using buoyancy assistance in a comfortable warm water environment. Water traction involves ankle weights from below and buoyancy plus Rotation belt from above to create a very effective treatment for lumbar discs.

Post-Operative Rehab: Aquatic therapy allows one to start their rehab process sooner, leading to quicker recovery time. Hydrostatic pressure helps with post-operative swelling. Buoyancy assists in early returns of range of motion. Walking can be trained on a post-operative joint sooner. Buoyancy allows for less weight-bearing through the joint, meaning less stress on the surgical site.
